Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

5. Engage
The Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday. It is the day Christians remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey.
Every tutor group has been given a Palm Cross.
Use the cross as a focus for worship … display it in your classroom.

6. Receive
As Jesus came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead with these instructions:
"Go to the village there ahead of you; as you go in, you
will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden.
Untie it and bring it here. If someone asks you why you
are untying it, tell him that the Master needs it. “
They went on their way and found everything just as Jesus had told them…

7. Receive
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying it?" "The Master needs it," they answered, and they took the colt to Jesus.
Then they threw their cloaks over the animal and helped Jesus get on.
As he rode on, people spread their cloaks on the road. When he came near Jerusalem, at the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives, the large crowd of his disciples began to thank God and praise him in loud voices for all the great things that they had seen…

8. Receive
"God bless the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory to God!"
From the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 19, verses 28 to 38

Some discussion ideas …
What do you think is the importance of the donkey?
Why is Palm Sunday celebrated?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion …
Reflect on what Palm Sunday means to Christians, what does it mean to you?

10. Respond
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Dear God,
Thank you for sending your son Jesus to die so that we are able to be free. Thank you for this day, the start of Holy Week, and the start of Jesus’ journey to the cross. Help us to understand the meaning of this for us and our lives.
Amen
Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

11. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
